No it doesn't pick up traffic light camera,it will pick up a speed camera over all its a great deal for the money. I use it all the time when driving upstate NY hasn't failed me yet.

No. It will not detect cameras, but will detect speed detector signs that law enforcement periodically put up on streets and highways. The red light camera has no laser or radar to be detected.

It will only pick up speed cameras that are "front facing" (i.e. the violation picture is of your front plate). Most U.S. speed cameras are "rear facing" since not all states require front plates. In these situations, you generally won't know there's a camera until after you've passed it (and have already been caught, if you were speeding). It will not pick up red light cameras, as others have noted.

I need to know if it will detect stationary speed cameras. not red light cameras

See it does, it has RED LIGHT camera detection, and this is used by the GPS.

does it need update red light and speed cam location? If it update online will I have to pay for update?

Yes. It has an embedded voice that annunciates the type of surveillance you are under, whether it is X Band, K Band, KA Band or Laser. The unit also verbally warns you when you are approaching a camera-enforced intersection. All of these intersections are stored in the unit's memory.

The red light indicates that it is ready to work but you must first download the program that accompanied the camera.

Its good at speed traps, but I don't think any radar is for detecting red light camera lights. You can actually see them on top of the red light.

I believe it does. You can add it to, for example, a Redline which has no GPS. It will use the GPS in your phone. But the lockouts are MANUALLY done by the user. It can also reduce some falses on a Max because it knows the Posted Speed Limit. If you are below the Posted Speed Limit it will not do a normal alert. It will go into "Cruise" mode with a short alert and go silent.

Just click "Yes". It activates when you hit your brakes hard or hit something. It just takes a quick snapshot of the incident and continues to record. It also keeps the video from being erased.

Yes, it does alert you when you are in the vicinity of red light an speed cameras in school zones. You do need to update the safety camera data from the Garmin website.

No, I have not seen where there is a setting for this feature. The screen will light up and show all cameras if motion is detected. That is beneficial if you have the monitor near you.

No, but, you would easily wire a 3-way switch to do this. Essentially when you put the car in reverse it sends a positive signal to the camera, you could wire a switch to manually send a positive signal to the camera when it's not in reverse. I plan to do this.

Yes. As long as you hook-up the video lead from the camera to only come on when there is power to the reverse lghts. No mater what is happening with the unit if I put the car in reverse the display shows me the camera's view.

Yes, it has settings to allow audio and visual notification when you exceed the speed limit. You can also can how many miles over the speed limit you would like it to alarm you.

It detects sudden movements (for example a collision). The camera would lock the video file it's recording in the event of an accident so that it wouldn't be over-written

No. But it displays a flashy screen. This way I know when the camera is out of range.

No. This detector doesn't detect traffic cameras. Otherwise great detector. Don't run red lights, they do not ticket for speed.

I think if the little red light is blinking it should be recording. Make sure to land it safely, otherwise I think it doesn't keep the recording. I haven't use the camera much because the quality isn't as good as I had hoped. Good luck.
